Service Engine Soon
The dealership fixed the issue for the second time and dealt with my ire. This time they spoke at length with the Nissan techs. The Nissan techs admited that the "service engine soon" light is a known issue associtaed with a lose gas cap. It codes as a slight evap leak. The probelm is with the gas cap not being properly secured. Nissan recommends "not" pushing in on the cap when closing it. They recommend simply inserting the gas cap, twisting right and ensuring it cicks at least three times. Then they recommend pulling on the little plastic retainer strap to ensure it is secure and does not pop off. They also said there was some sort of warning under the gas access panel on 2009 models about this, but I have no idea. So essentially a gas cap design is the culprit for this issue.
